It lasted three months only, from 1^st April until 30 June, and implemented without any delay targeting 4,768 families and the total amount was Euro 170,351.73.

This distribution was for the poor and needy people of Kabul who have been suffering from man disaster (war) and natural disaster (drought) for 25 years. But in these days the people of Kabul are also suffering from the high prices of food and non food items and high rate of houses rents, because of the influx of NGOs and returnees from Pakistan, Iran and from Europe as well.  All the food items and non-food items have been purchased locally in Kabul and distributed within three months for the most vulnerable people in the city.
